guns every dedicated cast bullet shooter and hunter must have?

[Lloyd Smale]

what do you think. Heres my list of mandatory guns
44 superblackhawk
K frame smith of some sorts
44 superblackhawk
1911
44 superblackhawk
marlin 4570
44 superblackhawk
a 45 colt blackhawk
and lastly a 44 superblackhawk

[Graybeard]

Well I sure can't support that list it has too many Ruger guns on it.

I've sure got the S&W K-frame guns tho several in fact and an L-frame 6" I'm planning to have converted to a .44 Special next year.

Toss out those Rugers and add in my FA83s and FA97s to replace them along with a S&W 629 and they do all I can say I'll ever need done.

I'm not much on semiauto guns and hate the 1911 platform with a passion. I do have a Browning Hi Power tho and some Glocks but they see only jacketed bullets.

You forgot a 357,44 or 45colt in a levergun (winchester or marlin) lots of fun and cheap shoot'n !!! And you forgot a 44 super blackhawk.

And the .44 Super Redhawk
and the .480 Super Redhawk
and the .357 Stainless steel Security Six
and any 30 caliber that I can stuff cast bullet into a case....
and some that I forgot......

[Swampman]

A Ruger #3 or an NEF Handi Rifle in .45-70 would be on my list.

A Handi rifle in .357 Magnum is another must have.

I like Ruger single actions ok.  I'm not strong enough to carry a Ruger double action.

[Lloyd Smale]

I thought of that but couldnt figure out what caliber so i added another super blackhawk   Bill come on out of the closet and admit you like rugers! i agree FA guns are great but not near as nice as a super blackhawk

I have trouble with the Single Actions due to the torque. It isn't the same as a D/A.

 And I'm Really fond of my Colt Series 70 Government model....

Jacketed bullets are for most rifles, or things like 22-250's

[bilmac]

Isn't the question less about the gun and more about the caliber? I think as far as using cast bullets for a practical application like killing deer the 45-70 is about the ultimate in a common practical caliber that uses a lead bullet with good results.

 Hmmm,my list-
   #1-Several muzleloaders of some sort-but hey,not persackly what YOU meant I think!
   #2-A .30/06 rifle,Remington 700 or Winchester 70 Pre'64
   #3-a Ruger .45 Long Colt Single Action

   #5-Winchester 94 Big Bore in .375 WCF
   #6-Some kind of .45/70 or .40/65 BPCR,preferably an original Remington Rolling Block rebarrelled with an octagon modern barrel

[Badnews Bob]

[larry357]

Since I just started a thread on the 25-20 elsewhere, I'll have to add it to this list.

4 grains of Green Dot and 86 grains of wheel weight makes for cheap, fun shooting
